Subject: Dents in the trunk from closing too hard...
   Date: (none)

I have a two month old new 1992. Everything is great so far, convertible
top sure beats the sun roof in my old CRX. Also is really handles better
than a 89 CRX Si and I thought the CRX was great.

I noticed last week a small dent in the trunk about where you would put
your hand when you close it. It is not a bad dent, not very noticeable, but
being a new car owner it does bother me. And I thought I was being careful
when closing the trunk! 

Does the Miata have abnormally thin trunk panels? Is this kind of dent common? 

Is seems like it would be easy to push the dent out from the bottom, except
the assembly for the lock is there with some reinforcement so you can't get
to it. The dent is very small and you can only see it when looking from
either side of the trunk, not the back. So I probably should not care. But
still...

Thanks -
